. The Story
Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original
BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the
past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster — somehow familiar,
yet still quite different from anything ever seen — has been
snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea
city. It is a Big Sister, new denizens of Rapture who were once
one of the forgotten little girls known as Little Sisters, known
to inhabit the city's dank halls. No longer a pawn used to
harvest ADAM, the dangerously powerful gene-altering lifeblood of
Rapture, from the bodies of others and in turn run the risk of
being harvested herself, the Big Sister is now the fastest and
most powerful thing in Rapture. You, on the other hand are the
very first Big Daddy, in fact the prototype, that for some reason
has reactivated. You are similar to the Big Daddies familiar from
the original BioShock, but also very different in that you
possess free will and no memory of the events of the past ten
years. The question is, as you travel through the decrepit and
beautiful fallen city beneath the waves, hunting for answers and
the solution to your own survival, are you really the hunter, or
the hunted?
Gameplay and Multiplayer
In BioShock 2 players will take on the role of the original Big
Daddy, not that of game one protagonist, Jack. As a Big Daddy you
will have access to all the strengths and weapons of a standard
Big Daddy, including the drill and rivet . More importantly
you also possess free will and the ability to use plasmids and
gene tonics — genetic modifications allowed for through ADAM, a
stem cell harvested from conquered enemies, or sea slugs outside
the Rapture air lock, and powered by the in-game injectable serum
known as EVE, which can be found, captured or purchased. Plasmids
and gene tonics provide a wide range of aggressive and passive
abilities which can be upgraded and arranged for quick use. The
ability to use plasmids and tonics gives you a decided edge over
other Big Daddies and most other denizens of Rapture, excluding
the powerful Big Sisters. In addition, due to their role as a Big
Daddy, players will experience a new relation to the Little
Sisters. Upon defeating standard Big Daddys you are given the
familiar choice as to whether to harvest or adopt them.
Harvesting gains you ADAM immediately, but could alter your path
through the game, while adopting makes you responsible for Little
Sisters, who then accompany you through Rapture, but also provide
aid and warning in times of danger. Additional gameplay features
include: new plasmids, weapons and the ability to combine these
two.
The game also features the anticipated multiplayer modes.
Several of these are team-based, allowing up to 10 players.
Within these players are provided with a rich prequel experience
that expands the origins of the BioShock fiction, and allows you
to play as one of several characters pulled from Rapture's
history before the events of the first game.
